2023 Hilton Status Retention

[PlutekPlutek]

Didn't get the mail, but before attempting to sign up, I had nothing in the Active Offers on my account, and now I have the Tier Last Call 2023. No confirmation emails.

 

[Flashback]

Received an e-mail overnight, just need to make 1 stay and my status will be extended for another year. May as well, why not?

Same. Annoying thing is there's no indication of stay requirements.

Yes - and I think it may end up 50/50 on them actually honoring it - especially if there's no email confirming acceptance, and requirements.

Agreed. Still waiting on a reply email from Diamond desk. Will let you know the outcome (20 hours so far)

2023 Hilton Status Retention

Hi All, I can't remember the details of the Status Retention promotion from 2022 for 2023. I currently have this detail in my account which suggests that I have achieved status for this year however I have a nagging suspicion - from when the "boost" was announced - that I'm a few nights short...

I believe they call this a "mattress run"

 

[Flashback]

Well I just received an email saying I had already been registered to maintain my status with one stay by 31/3. Unlike previous posters I am only silver. I got there by being the guest of the day at an HGI in England. Complimentary silver,my own parking spot,an upgrade and 10% F&B were received.
I have retained this since even though having only 1 stay per year exept 2020 when I had zero. 5 years of silver with only 4 total stays in that time seems generous to me.

Silver is worthless anyway, so wouldn't really say it's generous!

 

[liamsal]

Guess I'm a sucker for maintaining status the hard way by hitting the required nights

 

[drron]

Silver is worthless anyway, so wouldn't really say it's generous!

When you only stay 1 night per year anything extra is worthless anyway.

Yeah, just a single mattress ...

 

[tgh]

I dunno.. I am hanging onto my travel equipage by the fingernails.. so for me the offer is good.
I haven't been anywhere or done anything since the pandemic arrived other than buying a few points to keep my account
active , this little deal will keep my diamond status for another year..
Why not.. some of the impediments may clear and I may flit off into the wide blue yonder…or may not.. time will tell

Reward stays usually count and doubt this will be any different for this promotion.

All of these promotions are triggered by Paid stays .. 99% of the time an award and even points plus cash will not qualify. Pay pay pay

 

[dairyfloss]

Yes, reward stays should be fine.

The promotion FAQs - which are linked in the email - refer to a stay as defined by the HH general T&Cs. In these, you would find the exclusions as shown below:

A "stay" is defined as the total number of consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, whether or not a guest checks out and checks back in again. Specifically excluded from the definition of "stay" are the following types of ineligible stays: wholesale/tour operator packages; contracted crew rates; travel agency discount rates; packages exclusively for casino player card holders; unauthorized Members staying on Go Hilton Team Member or Family & Friends Travel Rates; stays secured utilizing Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Hilton Club timeshare programs, Hilton Grand Vacations marketing packages with a sales presentation requirement; complimentary or barter rooms; NET Group rates; Series Group or IT Group rates; contracted Entertainment or Encore rates; third party websites bookings (irrespective of rate paid); and "opaque" channel bookings where the brand may or may not be known at the time of purchase.

Finally called Hilton. Turns out I need three stays before 31/3.

Just to be safe I emailed Hilton to triple check that a reward stay counts for this promo. Would hate to miss out on Diamond for another year for the sake of 1 paid stay!

Then I HUACA and was arrured it was one stay.

Same - email appear to be automatic.

Based on the FAQ it would seem that a 'stay' is defined as per the regular Hilton T+C's.

So who should you believe? If either?
Just spreading doubt as I seem to be about the only one who hasn't got the offer
